...well, the best of dressers. They began to list the drab colors Americans seem to favor, and just as I was about to nod my head in agreement, I glanced down at my own clothes and realized I was wearing the exact “grays, blacks, and browns” they had mentioned. As I joined their group picture on the steps of Widener, I found myself holding my two fingers up and feeling very out of place among the mixing and matching of bright colors around me. “A duckling leading other ducklings...
...Department,” said College Events Board President John F. Pararas ’08-’09, who is also a former Crimson magazine writer. Officers at the scene referred requests for comment to HUPD spokesman Steven G. Catalano. After a performance by steppers from the Black Men’s Forum, technicians had to adjust the setup of the stage.

...candidacy posed a peculiar challenge to the GOP's minuscule African-American membership. For some, it meant weighing a sense of racial pride against loyalty to conservative economic and foreign policy principles. Now, the GOP must decide how it can be relevant to an increasingly diverse electorate, particularly blacks. That will certainly be on the agenda as Michael Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor, vies to become the first African American to lead the Republican National Committee. In an interview with TIME last week, Steele acknowledged it will be "very, very tough" to boost black support for the Republican Party...
